Going with Magnaflow but from where?

My local dealer, Midas, straight up told me to buy them from somewhere else cause he would have to rape me at the shop, but would install whatever I got for $100. The obvious question remains, where do I get a pair for a good price? I'm thinking the 14827's. http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/m...reetseries.htm

If I could get a complete cat-back online I would probably go that route. What else would that require? I'm okay if it's just the mufflers though. I will still sound good. I'm planning on remove the larger of the two resonators anyway. Always open to suggestions, recommendations and personal experiences.

Thanks, Jeff

$100 for installation? is that with custom cat back piping, or just welded on to the stock piping. one midas wanted $100 just to rmove my resonator.

I work right next door to midas and the manager parks closest to my car, he's cool. I told them what I wanted and they advised me to look elsewhere for the parts, but a great deal for the labor.

Sorry about this but I'm confused... $250 for the mufflers or $250 for the mufflers and installation?

Thanks.

The dealer listed on Magnaflows site is who recommends buying elsewhere. I found a site that is listing just the mufflers I was thinking about at $121 ea. Don't know if I need a special 'y' or 'x' pipe and/or a resonator if I do a catback system.

thats a good price, for much less than the cost of the comptechs you can get a full catback system. i know some people love the comptech name and rep, but still
